[Voice; LOCKED to Zelda]

Hey Zelda, after what happened...are you going to be all right to compete in the tournament? 'Cause I can get someone to take your place. If you're still feeling weak then I'm not going to have you fight and make it worse..!

Oh. I just said that I thought liking Lilia was confusing enough.

[Darc is so, so grateful that his post is locked - especially given what he says after a moment of pause.]

Well...I'll just say this. I do...I do care about you. I don't know what kind of care it is. But it's there, all right? I wouldn't be so damn worried about you stuck in that tower if I didn't. I've lost enough people in my life...!

...Don't tell anyone I said any of that.

[Growls] I probably sound like an idiot.

You do not sound foolish. I would think that out of the two of us, I would be the one looking quite the fool right now. [Her voice sounds wry, and slightly amused.]

I will not tell anyone what you said. You do not have to worry about me. [At all, because she doesn't think she has much time left anyway.]

[Very simply/matter-of-factly]...I don't think you sound foolish.

I do worry, for a different reason. [Long sigh - aaaand it's time for a strategic attempt to switch topics.] I also wanted to tell you I'm gonna save a special seat for you in the stands. It'll be next to the stairs and torch where I'll be watching.

Ah...[She pauses. She is extremely thankful that he can't see her.] Thank you.

[Zelda pauses at his subject change, relieved for it, really.]

Ah, that will be nice. Thank you, Darc.

See you there.
